Article 272. Measures to be taken against violators of the routine of court session
If the defendant breaks order in court session or disobeys requests of the presiding judge, the latter warns the defendant that, if he/she continues in the same way, he/she will be removed from the courtroom. If the defendant repeats his/her undue behavior in court session, he/she can be removed from the courtroom temporarily or for the whole trial upon court’s decision. In such a case, the judgment pronounced is immediately read out to the defendant.
If public prosecutor, community accuser, defense counsel or community defense counsel disregards requests of the presiding judge, the latter warns them. If they repeat such behavior, the trial, upon presiding judge’s order and court’s decision, may be adjourned whenever such violator cannot be replaced with another person without compromising the case. At the same time, the court informs thereon the higher prosecutor, Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, qualification-disciplinary commission of the Bar.
For disobedience to presiding judge’s requests or breach of order in court session, the witness, victim, civil plaintiff, civil defendant, and other citizens are liable under Article 185-3, first paragraph, of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine.
